Okay, so this *would* have worked fine, except for that little bit I forgot where there's no way to get EFI to use a static IP for TFTP without hacking your way into the EFI shell with rEFIt or something.
Then I was just going to resize the root partition so I could stick the image there and reboot… but then I remembered that you couldn't non-destructively resize HFS+ until 10.6. So, yeah. Here we are. Any other ideas? I'm nowhere near Portland. :) I did have another idea, though. VMware's free version of ESXi supports OS X as a guest as of v5. I have it running in production at work on some Xserves to host build nodes. I've never tried running it on a Mini, though. All the drivers seem to be there to support everything. I have a 2,1 model laying around somewhere, I'm sure; I'll see what I can make happen. Considering the lack of console access to the hardware, I'd think this would be a pretty good solution for platforms that are just kept around for regression testing and whatnot. On the other hand, Raritan makes a 0U dongle-ish 1 port IP KVM for around $400. I'd offer to donate one of the Avocent DSR2035s I have laying around, but they're 1U and have 48 ports, heh. /ek On May 17, 2012, at 8:39 AM, Evan Schoenberg wrote: > Evan, > > I approve of your naming! > > Thanks for your awesome debugging work with the 1.5b1 10.6 dependency issues. > > If you'll please email me your public key I'll get you added for access to > Smew.
